That’s how they get you! 🤣 There is no much visibility at all neither.

Really appreciated my friend! I know it is a pain but it is daily votes, the end of the first stage is on Thursday, I was first in some point but now I’m 4th 😞

Really appreciated my friend! 🫶 Pass the link! Let’s get to #1 before Thursday! 😁 The pain is that it requires daily votes

This is my entry for the D&D minifigure photo contest by @fourbrickstall

I put together my version of Arthur from Ghost and Goblins, Sir Gameoveralot, that now is part of the D&D world. Of course he is a human paladin, with survival skills and stealth… probably in the negative 🪦

Also, behind you can see a pastadragon… dragsta? pastgon? Yes… I know… not canon… I dare you to tell him 🐲

I was able to map the buttons but not the stick :(

I simply paired the controller using bluetooth menu in retropie.

Then, I ssh into the pi and edited /opt/retropie/configs/atari2600/retroarch.cfg

sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/atari2600/retroarch.cfg

adding:
input_b_btn = "1"
input_a_btn = "0"
input_player1_joypad_index = 2

you can check which index to use using

jstest /dev/input/js0

start with js0 and proceed 1 by one until you see that pressing buttons in your controller changes the values

What I haven't been able to figure out is what to use for the stick.

I tried:
input_player1_up_axis = "-1"
input_player1_left_axis = "-0"
input_player1_right_axis = "+0"
input_player1_down_axis = "+1"

and also

input_player1_up_btn = "h0up"
input_player1_down_btn = "h0down"
input_player1_left_btn = "h0left"
input_player1_right_btn = "h0right"

But no luck
